The library has changed its music download service from Freegal to Hoopla. For those of you who enjoyed Freegal, Hoopla is a new and improved way to get your favorite music.

With Hoopla, library patrons will be able to download entire albums at once instead of one song at a time. They will also have increased access to e-books, audio books, graphic novels, TV serieses and movies.

If you have a current valid Clark County Public Library card, just go to clarkbooks.org, and click on the downloads tab on the homepage. You will see the Hoopla link when you do. It takes only a couple of minutes to set up your account.

Just click on the “Get Started” link at the bottom of the page. Choose “Clark County Public Library” from the list of participating libraries. Enter your library card number and your library account PIN number. If you do not have a PIN number, set one up for yourself the next time you are in the library. Library staff cannot set up PIN numbers or reveal forgotten PIN numbers over the phone. This is for patrons’ protection. Add your email address, create a password…

Et voila! You are ready to go!

If you need help setting up your account, or if you would like help orienting to Hoopla, come into the library and talk to one of our friendly and knowledgeable reference librarians, or call 744-5661, ext. 111.

You can use Hoopla on any device — laptop, tablet, iPhone or Android — with the free and seamless Hoopla apps.

While you are in the download section of the library’s webpage, take a gander at the Overdrive e-book, Zinio e-magazine and OneClickDigital Audio services available.

If you are interested in the eclipse, look at the eclipse display in the library’s front lobby. There you can find out what time the eclipse will be visible in Winchester and also how to build a simple pinhole viewer for watching the eclipse. You can get a lot more information about the eclipse and see some entertaining and educational videos on space.com and nasa.com.
